Pretty impressive for running in a browser. I'm doing average of 30 FPS on my mediocre Intel IGP

Tidbit from the FAQ:

Q: Can you explain a little about the technology that makes this possible?

A. Mozilla is working on a new way to bring content to the Web and have it run at near native speeds. Using Emscripten to cross-compile C and C++ applications into JavaScript, Mozilla can bring large, high-performance applications to HTML5. This technology is already cross-browser as it outputs standard compliant JavaScript. The output from Emscripten also follows a stricter form of JavaScript called asm.js. It’s possible to optimize for this subset, as has been done in Firefox, to run within 2x of native speeds. Existing web standards such as WebGL and other Web APIs provide the hardware access needed to deliver incredible gaming experiences as shown by the Unreal Engine 3-powered Epic Citadel demo.

I tried that couple days ago. Phoronix article. Looked good, graphics were smooth. I got just over 30 fps at 1920 x 1080, hd 4000. CPU use was about 25% and mostly well under the full 3.4 Ghz. What Intel do you have?

Hey, guys, try this and post a benchmark or 3. I read on the Phoronix forum someone with Intel hd4000 graphics tried this with the Firefox nightly installed and framerate improved closer to 60 fps. Looks like some good improvements coming for Firefox.

Here is another webgl interactive thing I found. Move a ball in a clear tank of water to create waves and ripples, raytraced reflections and refractions.http://madebyevan.com/webgl-water/

Ok, more. I installed FF 21 and my fps went up to 33.9 from 30.9. FF 23 should be much better. I found another game and it has pwiddy widdu pengins in it. Thought some might be interested. It's at http://www.webgl.com/2012/09/webgl-game ... ns-puzzle/ I can't seem to get beyond level 1. Tried the esc, p, n keys. Starts the same level over or takes me to the home page. It states there are 35 levels. Take a look and see if you can get to the next level and check that link for page 1. There are about 20 pages of webgl demos and games listed.

I'm a little disappointed. I thought more people would post benchmarks. We really need more in the Linux community to judge how our systems are running. Don't be afraid, just do it, as my therapist used to tell me.
